O.K. You can give the Steelers credit for an amazing season against what was arguably the toughest schedule in the league but something that some people miss is the fact that this season is like 2005 when the Pats lost to the Broncos in the divisional round and Pittsburgh was able to avoid Belichick and his Patriots who are the Steelers kryptonite in the playoffs
2001 - Pittsburgh loses to New England in AFC Championship game
2004 - Pittsburgh loses to New England in AFC Championship game
2005 - Pittsburgh avoids having to face their playoffs daddy,the Patriots who lost to Denver in the previous week and goes on to win the AFC title and eventually the Super Bowl
2008 - Pittsburgh avoids having to face their daddy the Patriots who missed the playoffs and (???? TBD)
As we can clearly see the Steelers have taken advantage of avoiding having to play a Belichick led team in the playoffs and have capitalized on them to win one and probably two SB titles this decade
God,I wish we would have had a shot had we made the playoffs to see if our domination would have continued - I truly think we would have handled them again in a win or go home situation
